Automated Vending Machines temporarily suspended.

The roll-out of Automated Vending Machines (AVM) located at various Rea Vaya bus stations is temporarily on hold

Automated vending machines (AVMs) were introduced by The City of Johannesburg on the 1 July 2016 to assist passengers with loading Rea Vaya points.

The AVM's are alternative operational resources to assist cashiers for convenient loading of Rea Vaya points and to reduce long queues at Rea Vaya stations.

Rea Vaya experienced technical glitches of the operations of AVM's during the roll-out phase in July and have decided to keep them on hold temporarily and invest in new technology that will be efficient in operations for long-term customer satisfaction.During this time, passengers are encouraged to load Rea Vaya points through cashiers at all stations.

We apologise for the inconvenience and promise a better, efficient and high-performance AVM's that will meet the expectations of passengers.
